Question
Can I ask for the following information from your authority on the number of empty homes:
- How many private sector homes are currently deemed as long-term vacant in your local authority i.e. have been empty for over six months?
- How many of these properties have been vacant for over a) two years b) five years and c) ten years?
- In the year 2016-2017 how many empty homes have been brought into use? (By that I mean are now occupied)
- How many Empty Dwelling Management Orders (EDMOS) has your authority used in 2017 to date; 2016; 2015; 2014 and 2013? Please could I have this information broken down by calendar year?
Answer
Please see the information requested attached for questions 1-3
The last question will be a Nil response from us as Empty Dwelling Management Orders (EDMOS) are only used in England and Wales.
